Fruitport Township police are looking for a masked man who robbed the Shelby State Bank in Fruitport Monday afternoon.

No one was injured in the 1:50 p.m. holdup. The suspect passed a note to a teller demanding money and escaped with an undisclosed amount of cash, police said.

Police Chief Paul Smutz said the suspect's entire face was covered by a skin-colored mask with holes for the eyes. He wore gloves and a blue "hoodie" with the hood up.

The suspect implied he had a weapon at one point, said Fruitport Township Detective Bruce Morningstar, and he also took the note with him when he left.

The suspect was further described as being 5-11 to 6-1 and of medium to stocky build. He left the bank at 6448 Airline and went to the north past the Wesco station, then to the east down a side street.

An Ottawa County Sheriff's Department tracking dog responded to the scene but could not locate the suspect.

Police late Monday afternoon were checking the bank surveillance camera and also planned to check the Wesco camera system.

Anyone with information that could help police should call Silent Observer, 72-CRIME.
